Facebook In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Star Trek franchise, Facebook has released a new custom series of Like buttons for fans of the show.

Users in the US and Canada who have expressed interest in Star Trek by liking the official page or related content may see a personalised greeting on their news feed which offers a custom profile frame.

Facebook Messenger marketing lead, Lindsey Shepard, said in a blog post that "we wanted to mark this fun, nostalgic moment and help the passionate community of Star Trek fans celebrate in some unique ways on Facebook."

The new reaction buttons feature some of the franchise's most iconic characters and quirks: the Vulcan salute takes place of the Love button, Kirk is Haha, Spock is Wow, Geordi is Sad, and Klingon is Angry.

Lindsey completed her blog post with:

"This project has truly been a labor of love. We hope that people find as much joy in using these different celebratory elements as we have in creating them. We may test experiences like this in the future, and will focus on community and moment-driven events like this one. Live long and prosper."
